hey. you weren't at the y last week. we lost.
whatcha got in pie today, stella?
what do you recommend?
bring it on. and a gigantic coke.
right. and it's gonna snow later today --
real good. always starts hoppin' in weather like this. when it gets hot, people try to kill each other.
we've got more of everything bad since the wave started. it's the crisis atmosphere. people dress different, feel different, sweat more. they wake up cranky and they never recover. look at lowenstein. things are just a little askew. pretty soon people think the old rules aren't in effect. they start breaking them. figure no one'll care, cause it's emergency time.  time out.
lowenstein dreams of bigger things.
sorry about that.
i've gotta bring my wife up here. she thinks our house is the hottest place in the county.
ned, how did you get involved with this matty walker?
i mean she's poison, man. tell me what you know about her old man's death.
nah, he didn't set it. somebody offend him.
that's right. a very rough group of fellows, too. they're arguing with the insurance company right now. it's possible they wanted to cut old edmund out. i'm sure they're not too broken up over his departure. but this just doesn't seem like a neat way to handle something like that.
course guys like that make a lot of enemies. coulda been a grudge match from the outside, i suppose. but me, i'm kinda interested in the grieving widow.
how'd you get involved?
that's it?
what was this simpson's story?
on her way to europe?
the passport people can't find any record of that.
what do you think? about the wife?
he's right for once.
why not?
ned, you've messed up before. you'll mess up again. that's your nature. but they've always been small-time. this might not be. she's trouble, ned. the real thing. big-time, major league trouble. watch yourself.
you brought this on yourself, man! i don't run this department, you know. there are people watching this thing. they hear you're out there banging the widow every night; it tends to call attention to you. so don't give me shit.
this whole damn case is getting crazy.
so it's looking more and more like he was killed somewhere else and brought there in his own car. your honey, his wife, says he left the house in the middle of the night driving himself to some mysterious meeting. is that vague enough for you?
we haven't got all the details yet. mrs. kraft is bringing the little girl up here today to tell us her story.
christ. i'm not sure i'm up to dealing with this scene.
listen, you probably don't want to see the kraft woman right now. she's a little wild. why don't you slip out the back way here?
i've got it all here. and, ned, i'm sorry i had to ask.
teddy, this is detective knapp from the fort lauderdale arson squad. he's brought some very bad news about that fire. seems there were two people who didn't get out.
i know, teddy. it's not like you. and i'm willing to make that clear to anybody who'll listen. but you're going to have to help me out on this breakers business.
i better go get him.
her teeth were left, man. we sent them back to illinois. the identification was positive. that was her, that was matty tyler walker. that was her and she's dead.
why would she want to hide her identity?
it tells me she moved it and we can't find it. and that don't mean shit. it could be sittin' in any bank in the world waiting for a dead lady to come for it.
do you hear what you're saying? it's crazy. this matty would've had to been one quick, smart broad.
racine, you got to face something. you killed edmund walker, man. and you're going down for it. two people are dead. and no matter how you want to figure it, you ain't bringin' either of 'em back to life.
